Amazfit GTR 2e Review | Budget-Friendly 'Essential' Smartwatch

Nice one. Dude..

[@potato.cabbage98]

Holy crap, I just realized just how correct you are. 😳

[@BizCreator]

Funny, that is why I clicked at first.

[@SaraEvans9199]

Totally hooked on my Amazfit GTR 2e! This watch is a beast - the battery lasts for ages (seriously, weeks!), and it tracks everything from my sleep to my swims with ease. Plus, the classic design is comfy and looks great whether I'm hitting the gym or going out for a night. The only challenge? The glossy screen can get pretty scratched up easily. Thinking about a GadgetShieldz screen protector to solve that. Heard they have some super-tough protectors with a crystal-clear finish, so I can keep my watch looking pristine without sacrificing clarity.

I just got this one to replace my aging Stratos 2. I only wear a watch to keep track of my pool swimming. It looks nice and I really wanted to like it....turns out that for my use case, it's absolute crap. Took it for my pool workout twice already, together with my Stratos 2. My regular workout over the last 3 years has been 100 laps on a 25m lane pool, about every other day. My Stratos shorted me 1 lap, 4-5 times during the entire period, so extremely accurate and reliable. My new GTR 2e recorded 61 laps on the first swim, 76 laps on the second swim, well of the actual 100 laps. So all the data that it produces after, calories burned, SWOLF...forget about it...Totally unacceptable! In addition, when it comes to target setting, you have the option for time, calories and distance. Fine, but when it comes to distance, units are "km"!!! Biking ok, but swimming? Who sets swim targets in km? My 100 laps translate into 2500m, but for target setting I can either choose 2km or 3, nothing in between. The Stratos has this feature, it's nice to have a notification with vibration that lets you know that your are done. Tried to send it back after 3 days for return/refund but got denied. Still working on that.

[@laoiserosswick]

Great review. Thanks. Interesting that battery life was not the 24 days they had promised. I’m hoping some of the self charging technologies improve in the next few years to make this more plausible...

[@User___005]

I'm planning to buy it.Do u have this device?Can u plz confirm about its battery backup?It would be really helpful for me.

[@MattBurkeUK]

11 days is still better than the less than a day of some watches

[@Eruton136]

This was the best and most comprehensive review about this watch. Thank you

[@moises1228]

I was looking for a smartwatch and this came up and i looked it up on yt and found one of my favorite reviewers 😎

[@TheOFWProjectWorld]

Thanks for the review man, the deal breaker for me was the notifications wherein when there's a new notification you have to dig down from a lot of messages that piled up from the notification slides. so yeah... thanks again!

[@sakistheos1807]

Thank you very much for the review Tech Spurt, you've helped me to choose the GTR 2e!!! Liked, Commented and Subscribed!!!

[@realityfitnessfyt4lyfe248]

Great review, and quite humorous. Keep up with the fun, and positive, personality.

[@aye3678]

You are my absolute favorite reviewer! Thanks for another great review :D

[@newbierides]

Great review, does it work with the Strava app on iPhone?

[@inmaanmiraze6137]

Make a video on GTS 2 and GTSe and please don't forget to mention which of the GTS is more beautiful.

[@possessionfriend946]

I've had the GTR2e for 14 months, loved it, although some of its measuring was poor, especially the Open water swim, calls Front Crawl 'Butterfly' stroke ( and no its not my swimming technique ) and Over measures the Open water distance by Double ?

[@thegrinch77]

Great review. Helped me decide. Just bought the watch and its great. You're absolutely right about the 'find my phone' sonic headphone blast. Blew my ears straight off the head. 😂 Now I no longer miss the possibility to make calls with the watch, as it made me completely deaf! Win-win! 👍 Anyways, thanks for the review, good buy!

[@ashtonmitchell1379]

Seriously considering getting this watch but can you tell me what notifications you can receive, I've seen other reviews that show notifications from some apps from your phone, but wondering if you get notifications from ANY app on your phone. For example could I set it via zepp to get notifications from my bank, works HR app and news/sports apps?

[@harshbhardwaj8221]

He is literally the most funniest brit... I have ever seen😂 Keep rocking mate 🤘🏻

[@mlbrown76]

I "upgraded" to the Amazfit GTR 2e from the Amazfit Stratos 3 because I heard that the GTR 2e had better battery life. I knew I was going to be sacrificing internal storage to store music, but what I wasn't expecting was I would lose the ability to sync a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. I believe this ability can be added in a firmware update because I believe Amazfit added the feature to the Amazfit Pace with a firmware update. Otherwise this is a decent activity tracking watch for its price.

Cheers Chris, nice review. This looks very nice and would fit my equally thin wrists and sturdy enough to survive many moments of disarray (drunkenness).

[@gd2001]

very nice video!! question between realme watch s , amazfit gtr 2e and huawei gt2 e whats your pick? I'm interested basically more bluetooth connectivity (when its lost is it connected back automatically?) and sleep mode , which one catches even light day sleeps? and of course best Value for money ? many thanks ! 4

[@rafalmaka4606]

Nice review, you sold it to me :). Do you know when they will be available in UK?

[@blaster915]

Literally if you could respond to notifications from this watch via voice, this would FINALLY be a watch that could replace the Pebble Time Steel as a sucsessor! Fitness tracking, Week battery life, music control and notification reply. It is damn close to a buy for me but just missing that one last feature. Still going to hold off for the next generation but lets see if they can keep that battery (otherwise they will lose a customer)

[@markg.1590]

Nothing could ever replace my Pebble Time Round. :( Its size is perfect instead of a wearable hockey puck. Real shame Pebble sold out to FitBit

[@shibaddicts1335]

Hi Spurt, can you suggest which one should I get? Mi watch (global) or this Amazfit GTR 2e. They are both very similar price in my country, thanks :)

[@nadinma5560]

Hello, nice video. Beautiful watch.. Does it come to smaller size for women? I love it in green color...

[@electron7373]

Mr Tech-Spurt should be a stand up comedian - I love the jokes! Oh, and the reviews pretty cracking as well :)

[@TheTwsa]

how accurate and valid are the measurements reg. healthtracking, like sleep, heartrate etc.?

[@MichaelGerrard]

I have been using the original GTR for over a year, I am still happy with it. Feature-wise this new e model is close to the original GTR but I like the better notifications (yes it is better!), watch faces and other tweaks. I don't think I will upgrade though, my GTR is shiny steel. Recently I saw a new Amazfit called Neo, will you review that one? It is a retro LCD model, good for nostalgia :-)

[@rixtrey87]

1st thing about a review is the price 👍

[@barrycameron129]

Once the novelty wore off I left the watch to just do its thing .... So far 50% charge left after 23 days. Impressive!

[@gorgonismztruth1551]

I have this watch and still love it.. all its missing is blood measure

[@seyedmuhammadmousawi5906]

how long does it take to update the os though??? it was pretty laggy when I first launched it and thought it was ok, and I know that transferring the data should take about a year or so, but it's taking it like 10 years to update now... should I start worrying???

Whats the sleep tracking sp02 oxygen monitor like? Does it work while you sleep automatically? Thanks

[@AndrewWilson-ij2oh]

Does Strava use the barometric elevation gains recorded by the Amazfit watches, or does it automatically use the Strava elevation model, same as used by Strava app? I'm fed up with the poor strava elevation model when mountain biking & hiking.

[@iJulioRocha]

So, when u receive a notification from Instagram, WhatsApp or whatever app you have set the notification on, will pop up on the screen like the Mi Band or not? I did not understand :(

what do you think to exynos processors in the s21 range (and all their uk variants) rather than snapdragon processors?

[@jimhuper]

They lose way more performance under heavy load way steeper but in battery life they managed to equal both. Exynos is still not up there but the gap is closing

[@thebrowniesaur22]

It's it just me or is the UI a bit laggy? I mean the miband 4 is able to keep the animations smooth... This looks a bit sluggish... What is up with that? You would expect the hardware to improve in these smart watches right?

Companies don't really care. The Mi Band 5 UI lags much more than the 4 :)
